This is the kind of thing that drives me crazy. I bought some new underwear a few days ago, and when, at the cash register, I went to remove them from their little plastic hangers, the cashier said that they would just throw them out, not reuse them. I assume that the manufacturer puts them on the hangers and doesn't want them back. They are recyclable, but still! It is such a waste for all those hangers to get made, and then to have to recycle rather than reuse them.

Is there a company address on the underwear tag? You could send the hangers back with a protest letter...
That is so horrible. :( I always assumed they were reused too.
I like the idea of sending them back to the company. But I googled quite a while to no end. I found lots of stores that carry the line, (and a site that objects to the marketing of 'sexy' underwear to young girls), but I wasn't able to find the original company. I could have insisted on speaking to a manager and complained to her/him. Oh well.
